How this sale works

Land bank or city-owned property sale

A public land bank or city agency is disposing of property it already holds, usually acquired through tax foreclosure. Prices are set or negotiated rather than auctioned.

• Many programs sell by application or fixed price and may require a rehab plan, owner-occupancy or a deadline to build.
• Title is generally cleared by the land bank, which is a major advantage over a tax sale.
• Expect program eligibility rules, and sometimes a preference for neighbors, nonprofits or first-time buyers.
